Germany Refuses An Armistice,
Despite Bolshevik! Acceptance
of Peace Terms, and Russians
Awaken To Danger That Faces

TROTZKY, ACCUSED OF
TREACHERY, WILL RESIGN
Red Guards Fight Furiously,
While Government Issues Proc

To Rally To Arms and Prevent
Restoration of the Monarchy
LONDON, February 27 (An
sociatcd Press) Despite the
full acceptance of the Bolshcviki
pnvernment of the terms of the
Germans and the announcement
from Petrograd that the Russians
are willing to surrender territory
and pay an indemnity, Germany
refuses to agree to an armistice
and desperate fighting has de
v c 1 o p e d throughout Ksthonia.
where the red guards are vigor
ously disputing the further way
to their capital.
The refusal of the Germans to
permit the slaughter to stop and
the general belief now spreading
that it is n part of the German
l)lan to restore the monarchy
have inflamed the Russians and
these are no longer meek'y giv
ing up their arms to the invad
ers. On the contrary they are re
sisting desperately, the remnant.
of the Russian armies along the
front endeavoring to hold unti
reinforcements can reach them.
RESISTANCE STRENUOUS
The nature of the fighting and
the fact that the Germans are no
longer being permitted to ad
vance at will are shown in the
reports irf the struggle for the
possession of the junction city of
Pskov, which has changed handr
several times during the past
twenty-four hours, with the bit
terest kind of street fighting. At
last reports the red guards had
driven the Germans out and were
holding the town against new
assaults.
BOLSHEVIKI AWAKE
An Exchange Telegraph report
states, that the Bolshcviki appear
t' have awakened to the serious
ness of the German advance and
to the improbability of stopping
it by further promises of peace.
Kvcrywhere throughout North
ern Russia the red guards are
lighting, in some instances with
considerable success.
The correspondent states also
that there has been a serious dis
agreement between Foreign Min
ister Trotky and the workmen
delegates, who are now accusing
the Bolshevist leader of having
betrayed his country to those
who are now proposing tf) over
throw the revolution. Trotsky
is almost certain to resign.
From Bolsheviki headquarters
a proclamation addressed to the
people of Russia was issued yes
terday. This calls upon all Rus
sians to unite against the Ger
mans and to opoose them by
every means.
